Three days. Three different worlds. One MadFest we’ll remember for a long time.

A huge thank you to our headliners, every artist, DJ, live band and performer who stepped onto our stages and brought their own sound, energy and character to Emprosneros.

To everyone who became part of MadFest beyond the music, from our workshop facilitators and performers to the artists, creators and teams who helped transform the space, thank you for bringing this world to life.
And to every single person who danced, sang, explored, connected and shared these three days with us: thank you, MadTribe.

You made MadFest 2026 what it was.

Music. Art. Connection.

And the story continues.
Keep your eyes open. The dates for the next MadFest will be announced soon.

Until we meet again. ❤️

Some collaborations are simply meant to be.

We’re excited to welcome **Mythos Beer** as an official sponsor of MadFest Crete 2026.

MadFest was born with 𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗸 𝗺𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆 𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝘁𝘆 — reimagining ancient stories, symbols and rituals through music, art and modern culture.

So having a brand called 𝗠𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘀 become part of our own story feels like the perfect match.

Ancient myths were created through stories shared from generation to generation.

This September, we gather to create some new ones of our own. 🍺
